Alex Andreou wanted some cats.

The Greek-born UK-based writer and actor has a stable home and income. He has a background in law and economics, he’s given TED Talks, and he runs the Sturdy Beggars Theatre Company. Andreou is responsible, and more than capable of caring for a pet.

Instead of buying his cats from a pet store, Andreou made a humane decision, and drove two hours to pick a pair up that “desperately needed rehoming,” he said.

But when he got there, the owner turned him down.

So, I just travelled two hours to adopt a cat that desperately needed rehoming and was turned down for being gay. WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. pic.twitter.com/XDwYELdkn7
